G1 Battery Lasts Only 2 Hours (Help)

My G1 battery is only lasting 2 to 3 hours for some reason. it is a 1400 mAh by seidio. I am running the SuperFroyo 2.6 Lite by Superatmel. i got the battery online like 3 months ago and it was used. Any ideas or suggestions to save battery. and/or should i get a new battery? Thanks

Try another Rom Super D v1.9.3 and SuperFast v1.3.3 are excellent Donut (1.6) ones to test your battery issue.

ok ill try out SuperD thanks

I will bet that your battery issues are not ROM-related. Being that its an after-market battery, and used, it's probably outliving its life spam. To my knowledge, batteries are meant to provide a certain number of charges, every time you plug the power cable into the phone to charge it, that constitutes for one charge. Whether its for 5 minutes, or 5 hours. They usually have a set number, somewhere around 500 charges. After that, it slowly stops holding a solid charge.
I would suggest buying a NEW battery, not used.

Youre assumption is correct, thats why I directed him to flash a Donut rom to test and see if the short battery life occurs again.
Until we hear from him we wont be 100% in our hypothesis.
Youve gotten ahead of me and commented about the battery being the culprit, damn, beat me to it. ha ha ha.

i would say its lasting longer, but only by 1 to 2 hours more. so im going to buy a new battery. thanks for the advice tho

ALSO, while downgrading to Donut, While wiping, MAKE SURE your battery is FULLY CHARGED and wipe the battery stats. Check back.

ok my battery wasnt fully charged while wiping everything and downgrading. instead of re-flashing and downgrading can i just re-calibrate my battery? sorry for the late reply

me too
same rom - same problem .
i have a genuine battery , my g1 last one hour and 12 mins with the super froyo rom.]
real shame as i love the rom .

I have that rom and it the best battery life I have found so far on this phone...
There's a thread similar to this bellow and I recommended this:
3 thinks you can do
1)check for a better rom and\or verify if your gps, wi fi and on while this happens
2)Recalibrate your battery
2A Discharge it until it shuts itself off.
2B) Recharge it back to full and then leave it charging for another few hours even after it says it is full
2C)repeat if needed
3)buy a new one...
Good luck

[Q] things to be done on battery after getting new htc one

I am new in HTC phones. I will get my htc one after 2 days, i mainly want to know about battery charging cycles. how can we do that to get maximum battery life. what is mean by battery calibration ? is the battery to be calibrated in every weak ? sorry for my bad english

Once at month, you have to discarghe the phone at 0%, put it in charge and switch on it when the led is green.
The battery life, during the day, depens of you and your use of phone

Just use it. Charge it when you need to, charge it when you can, top up charge is fine. Calibration is a myth. You don't need to do anything or not do anything abnormal.
Letting it run out and leaving it empty is a bad idea. Charging it, turning it off, charging it, and whatever other voodoo is recommended is a bad idea.

is their any special charging methods to be done after getting my new One ??

One charge for a day is enough for htc one if you don't play games

If you really want the most optimum battery life out of your phone then don't let it drain below 30% nor let it reach more than 90%. You'll likely get the most charge cycles and prolonged battery life with that. This suggestion sounds sarcastic but this is scientifically factual.

How many HTC one batteries did you test? Using what methodology?
The only scientific fact is that you just made up those numbers, you have no idea what charge and discharge limits have already been placed on the raw cells by the battery circuitry.

HTC One Battery Conditioning

G'day mate. When I had my HTC Desire, there was a process of conditioning that was advisable which pushed my battery life from 3/4 of a day to a full day. Having just received my HTC One last Friday (and what a magnificent phone it is too but that is a story for another day), I can honestly say that no conditioning is required (after-all, it does have a 2300mAH battery). I would suggest that you make sure that the first time you charge the phone, you leave it on charge for a minimum of 8hrs (as recommended by HTC). I left it on charge all day and I believe it does make a difference. As for making it last long, may I suggest you invest in an App called Juice Defender Ultimate (not very expensive but extremely useful) ? I am using this app and I have improved the battery life of my One from a single day to approx. 2.5 days. But I am an average user (emails, some internet, some music and blinkfeed). I don't watch movies on my phone so I am not too sure how that will affect battery life but I believe it will have some effect.
I hope this helps you with the answers you seek.

It's based on scientific facts.
When your battery has high load(Almost fully charged) more ions inside the battery are stored there hence doing alot of chemical changes in the battery. And chemical change is the only reason why our batteries here are losing it's capacity.
And the reason why I set 30% as the minimum is because you don't want your battery to be drained too much as there's likely chances that you'll completely drain it causing it to be broken also.
And why limit the examples on HTC One batteries? Is this a serious question or just a joke? We all know that HTC One was just released months ago and another obvious fact is it has a non removable battery. So obviously the answer would be none.
And about real life proofs about my usage and how it affects battery life do you want me to show you a nokia 3310 model still up and running for almost a 8 years now? Also want me to show you my nokia n900 which is already about 4 years now and still kicking it's battery perfectly up to now? I could have also showed you my n95 up and running till now if only it didn't break it's flex cable.
There's no such thing as integrated ticking time bomb on your battery(like rumors in the 20th century where they say electronic ICs have a hard coded date where they will totally shut off) where it would just instantly die once it reach it's recharge limit. What manufacturer in their right mind would do that? Smartphone business isn't a monopoly and every competitor would want the best of them all on their products. Also if this myth would have been true most people's device wouldn't even last a year due to plugging your phone on a computer would initiate a charge also. So would that mean that if I plug my phone on my PC 5x a day and charge it once a day it would only last roughly 6months? lol!
Also here's a good website that would backup my claim.

Prevent full cycles, apply some charge after a full discharge to keep the protection circuit alive.

Keep cool, battery lasts longest when operating in mid state-of-charge of 20–80%. Prevent ultra-fast charging and high loads.

Did you read those websites? Because their numbers and yours don't agree. So either you made up the numbers or you obtained your scientific facts from elsewhere.

As much as I know....just dont overcharge and frequent charging. Overcharge meaning leaving your phone charged for long hours after it has reached 100%. Frequent charging meaning leaving your home with 100%, reach office at 85% and charge. Going for lunch with 92% and came back with 87% and you charge again. Get the picture? I'm no genius on batteries and dont bother looking up and reading on them. Just based on experience, over many phones. And yes, the first charge is very important.

I thinks the powersave is the best route when not playing any games. If you play games then you can call it quits!

As much as I know, dont drain the battery too much the first time you take it out the box. All batteries comes with a little charge in it. Had a friend who used to work at a mobile company and I cant remember the term he used to describe that. But the first charge doesnt have to be exactly 8hrs. Phone might be fully charged after 4-6hrs if you hadnt used it much from the box. Just dont unplug it before it reaches 100% on the first charge. Let it get to full and leave it for another 10-15mins and its good to go.

Battery Maintenance

Hello guys. Now that the battery is not removable I would like to ask you guys how do you guys take care of battery so it has longest lifespan as possible? I know that keeping it away from heat is a good thing but how about charging? My self I am always wait untill the battery hits around 15% of juice. Do you guys let it go zero and a full charge?
Just want some tips

Li-ion battery has great life-span No need to worry about that. Just do full cycle charge at least once in a week to calibrate the battery

Once a week? Wooow. I'm 2 months behind

No matter what phone I always let it go to zero if I am in no hurry to recharge it . My five-year-old Droid X still boots and has decent battery life.

I read somewhere that the cells gets damaged when dropping to zero always

You can google it yourself. I did once. Found a website, it was something like "Battery Charging 101." I read that site for about 3 hours and different topics on different batteries. Basically nobody knows the real answer, and everyone is making up stuff.

The batteries do get damaged when they really go to zero but when it says zero on your phone it's not really zero battery voltage. Just like 100% is not 100% all the time. it depends how the battery is currently calibrated.

New spare battery whitout proper temperature reading...

hi,
I have just received a replacement battery, have had a charge discharge cycle, and it look ok.
But I did just figured that the temperature reading is nothing but real :
- put the phone outside at -5°C for 30 min, batterie temp reading :23°C
- put the phone in charge on a QuickCharge 2 charger and go from 20% to 70% : 15°C
It seems to be a common thing on spare replacement batteries to have bad or simply NO temperature sensor.
For my Nexus 5 I have had the same issue.
The question is : is this temperature reading used to stop charging when its getting to much hot or even the phone itself?
Or does the phone itself has its own temp sensor that will shut it down or stop charging?
Edit : the litle white humidity disc checker on the same face as the contact is also missing...
Thanks

I also have a "5000 mah" slim battery, it is showing 23 degree non stop, so obviously not working. It gives me great battery life though.

Yeah the temp sensor is bugged

My orig bat is still crankin. 1.25 years later. Im impressed

I did this for testing purposes....
With my Original Battery I charged with USB 2.0 Quick Charge and with my LG OEM Battery Charger and I got 2 Hours more with the Battery Charger. My Test: had the screen [email protected] and in the whole time. So 5HRs vs 3HRs
Note: the OEM Battery Charger doesn't have Quick Charge. To my understanding you should always charge slow and not fast. I find these Quick Charge Technology just a gimmick

Now out of curiosity. Are all these batts with incorect temp readings throwing warning aboit device to hot or cold????

No, I have no warnings, it works a bit better than stock, I have 4-5 hours of SOT during 40h time (I charge the phone every other night all night).

My G4 is brick

Truth: Either a Chip in the battery, Motherboard via Phone or.... inside the OS Kernel is it's locked @3000mah so if you charge (via USB) a Extended Battery it'll charge only @3000mah and nothing more. I've tested it. Even charging overnight

Is the quick charge harmful?

I can't say that quick charge is harmful however what is usually not a great thing to do is to stick the phone on the charger all the time when there's plenty of power left. Like charging it from 80% to 100% is just wearing on the battery life faster and causing it to use an extra cycle.. Think of it like this say the phones battery can ONLY be charged a total of 100 times and that's IT no more it's dead after the 100 charge.. if you stick it on the charger at 95% and charge to 100% well now you just lost a cycle and you only have 99 charges left.. Wouldn't it have been better to use the entire battery power until it shuts off and then charge it?! Doing it this way actually extends the batteries life and keeps it working a lot better than constantly doing small charges.

Ive always been taught that the faster u charge a battery the less charge it holds. And decreases the life span faster. That slower is always better on lifespan.
The added heat from quik charge also puts strain on device if being used at same time.
Just my opinion

Ive googled this and according to some psyhics, it doesnt matter how fast the electrons get to 3,000 mah. What really harms the battery is getting above 90% and below 10%. Everytime you get to 100% it counts as an cycle, and batterys have a limited life cycle. My orignal barttery went bad after 11 months...degraded from 3000 mah to 2,200. I manually replaced the battery myself

this is also true
i just personally dont think its good on them to quickly dump voltage to them either

Not sure it will harmful to the battery life span, but sometimes I charge my phone to 100% and continue, so this will also harmful to battery?

You can just not use your phone battery at all. Once lithuim ion batterys reach 100 thats it, they then drain from your electricty So by turning on your power case when uts at 100%, the phone drains from the case. Of course if your using like an 1amp charger, theb battery will drain if using while plugged in., because the screen is eating more energy than the 1 amp can provide

Batteries are cheap....replacing them isn't that difficult. I got 20 months from my original battery(always fast charged).
If I get the same from the replacement then it's all good.
Use the phone....that's why you bought it.

Yes, forcing a lithium battery above it's operating voltage, something like 4.7v with a 5v to over come is ok. But 9v!?!? That's degraded it's performance. In the great scheme of things does it really matter? Probably not, chances are you will get a new phone in a year or so anyways and thats about when the battery fails.

Oops

I don't want to change the battery, and for now, more and more phone come with battery non-removable, it's not a good choose to change battery.

It's difficult? Could i ask you which battery to buy and where you bought it?

Its only hard if u want to keep your glass back. I tore up and shattered mine and dont care because my phone is always in a case, so youll never see the back. Got the oem battery from ebay for around 10 dollars. Then its just a matter of taking out all the screws, connecting the really small connector, and screwing back tightly. Like you need put pressure on screen when putting back together because for example volume down button might not work if press 2 lightly

It's easy, use a heat gun and the simple tools. Took me 20 mins and I didn't break anything. Just bought the battery off eBay
